Subacute Care -
A comprehensive short-term care designed for residents who have a severe illness, injury, worsening of a disease, or who need specialized rehabilitation following hospitalization. Opened in January 1998, Fairacres Glenmere Subacute Center offers transitional care between the hospital and home. A team of professionals evaluates each resident's condition and an individualized plan of care is developed and followed. Care conferences are held to monitor the resident's progress and revise the plan of care as needed. Individual resident's conditions and medical needs vary widely; therefore, the length of stay on Glenmere may range from several days to several months.

The Glenmere Center's staff is highly experienced in caring for residents who no longer need hospital-based services, but still require specialized, coordinated treatments for complex medical problems. Physicians make regular rounds, and the unit is staffed by Licensed Nurses 24 hour a day.

Oxygen, suction, televisions, and telephones are provided with each room on Glenmere. Visitors are always welcome!

Secured Care -
Fairacres Manor is dedicated to providing our community with an enrichment philosophy of care for individuals with Alzheimer's and related dementias. Our mission is to ensure safety and security while encouraging functional independence through meaningful day-to-day activities.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, however, the rate of progression varies with each case. The Homestead Center provides a setting catered to the unique needs of all of our residents. Residents who may benefit from the safe supportive and structured setting are carefully assessed before being admitted to Homestead. Our staff is specially trained to recognize the stages of this disease and to interpret changes in the resident condition. A formal assessment of each resident is conducted every three months or more often if necessary. An experienced outside reviewer ensures that each resident meets criteria so that admission and continued stay on Homestead is appropriate.

A secure outdoor walkway and patio area are integrated into the unit so that those residents who enjoy the outdoors may do so safely. Other common areas are designated for dining, activities, or quiet relaxation. Within the Homestead's safe environment, staff creates an atmosphere of supervision rather than restriction.

Each day is carefully tailored to meet the special needs of the residents, as well as, accommodating individual preferences. Small group and one-on-one activities within Homestead maximize independence and increase socialization of our residents. Residents are also encouraged to join in activities held in other areas of Fairacres Manor.
